Chapter 253: Chapter 253: The only one

"Why are you giving this to me?"

Eren looked at the ring that was tossed towards him. He didn't understand why Feng Yu was giving him the ring, especially since the ring she gave him was not a storage ring.

She gave him the Ring of the Sect Master. Although she had offered that ring to him in the past as well, that was when she thought she wasn't going to return alive.

Now that they were free, it didn't make sense for her to give him the ring. He didn't understand what she was planning right now.

'Is this a test?' he thought as he waited for Feng Yu's response.

"Those old fossils have come out of their hiding, haven't they?" Feng Yu asked a question of her own, instead of answering.

"Are you talking about the Ancestral Elders?" Eren landed on the Phoenix as well right as it started rising in the air.

"Who else would I call an old fossil?" Feng Yu responded, not reacting much. It was as if she already guessed what might have happened in the sect with her disappearance.

Eren understood why she was calling them old. They were from the era of her father. They were the Great Elders of the previous generation.

Even though they looked extremely young, they had lived for hundreds of years, especially the woman that he had seen before.

As for their strength, it was also quite terrifying. He only knew that they were weaker than Feng Yu when she became an Overlord, but they had been in seclusion from that moment onwards.

It was unclear how much their strength might have increased. Even then, they didn't leave the seclusion as long as Feng Yu was in the sect.

With Feng Yu's disappearance, quite a few Ancestral Elders had left the seclusion. As for how many were still in seclusion, he didn't know.

If Eren betrayed her and went to the Ancestral Elders with this information, then the Ancestral Elders could also promise him the position of the Great Elder, maybe something even higher.

If they knew that she was so weak now, then they could easily take her out. She was putting her life in his hands. As for how he was going to handle that life, she wanted to see it for herself.

For some reason, she really hoped that Eren wasn't going to break that trust. It took a lot of effort for her to trust someone again.

Eren silently looked at Feng Yu's back, his gaze occasionally falling on the Ring of the Sect Master.

He sighed eventually and wore the ring on his finger.

.....

The Great Demon Sect was quite chaotic recently. A few days had passed since the Sect Master had disappeared.

The Frost Demon and his disciple were also found missing, with quite a few bodies found buried in the frozen mountain.

Not long after, Elder Eren had also disappeared. Even Xiu Ying who was trusted by the Sect Master wasn't in the sect, leaving no one to take the lead.

Even worse was the fact that the Ancestral Elders had come out of their seclusion, basically declaring Feng Yu dead.

This news spread amongst all the Elders, who were in shock. Not only did someone infiltrate the sect but they even took out the Sect Master and the Frost Demon? Many Elders were in disbelief, and the same was with the Great Elders.

The news was still kept hidden from the disciples, at least for now. However, the sect disciples could still feel that something was going on in the sect.

At the moment, all the Great Elders had gathered in the main palace of the Great Demon Sect.

In front of them, there was the throne of the sect master. However, a woman was sitting on the throne at the moment, being the same Ancestral Elder that Eren had seen before.
